The beggar was arrested by Dubai police.
His job was to offer people a weighing machine for a dirham.
Colonal Ahmed al-Adidi, acting director of the Anti-Infiltrators' General Department of the Criminal Investigation said that the department had arrested the suspect in collaboration with the Al Muraqqabat police station.
Police have warned beggars not to respond and to be deceived by their deceptive practices, and to report any beggars found through the Dubai Police Smart App, the Police Eye Service call center (901), or on mobile phones (e-crime) platforms.
